Seven Caged Tigers by Stone Temple Pilots
Seven Caged Tigers
Intro:
G Bm E
D C B
Verse 1:
Em D C
Pass the time kickin' as time rips by
G Bm E
Neither goose nor the gander fly
G Bm E
Buy a minute spend an hour burnin', burnin'
D C B
Take a peek as the model earns it, earns it
Em D C
Walk a mile as it keeps crawlin', crawlin'
G Bm E
Kill the politician and wash it with everpure
Chorus:
Ebmaj7 Bb
So the answer gets harder, harder
Ebmaj7 Bb
And the truth's getting farther and farther
Ebmaj7 Bb
And the bottle keep churnin', and churnin'
Ebmaj7 Bb B
Seven caged tigers fly by, fly by...
Verse 2:
G Bm E
Wastin' time chasing those cows that fly
D C B
Churnin' out all of that butterfly sugarboost
Em D C
Track the blade as it pulls downward, onward
G Bm E
Take the pill it'll kill the martyrs, martyrs
G Bm E
Passin' time rippin as time kicks by.
D C B
Pass the umbilical cord down for a fly-by
Em D C
Take a sneak where the model earns it, earns it
G Bm E
Hike a mile as it keeps crawlin', crawlin'
Repeat Chorus
Bridge/Solo
G Bm E , A F , Bm C (hold C two measures)
repeat ...............C (walk down Bm, Bb)
Repeat Chorus
NOTES:
On the E major chords, hammer on G string 2nd fret as in song.
The first C major in verses is played (-32030)
Second C major in verses is played (-32033), and walks middle finger down to B note.
The B major in the verses has a little walkup to it as well; the little finger slides
up one fret and then the F# on the bottom string is accented.
You've really just got to listen to the song to get the feel of where the hammers,
slides, etc are.

version 2
chords (I pretty much used mostly regular major chords, sometimes converted
into power chords)
G 355433
B 799877 or -244--
E 022100
D -577--|
D# -688--|
C -355--|
A# 688766
intro/verse riff
G - B - E
D - C - B (after this, there is a 3-chord slide up, something like C-D-E)
E - D - C C/B (this is a slide down to B before starting next progression)
G - B - E
the first verse starts on the third line of this progression, like this...
G - B - E
D - C - B C D E (-799--)
E D C
Pass the time kickin' as the time rips by
G B E
Neither goose nor the gander fly
G B E
Buy a minute spend an hour burnin', burnin'
D C B C D E (-799--)
Take a peek as the model earns it, earns it
the other verses start on the first line of the progression, rather than
waiting until the third, and scott weiland's words hit on the same basic
notes.
chorus
the chorus follows this basic pattern, with a lot of raking:
D# D# (rake) D# D# A#
so the answer gets harder, harder
D# D# (rake) D# D# A#
and the truth's getting farther and farther
D# D# (rake) D# D# A#
and the bottle keeps churnin' and churnin'
D# D# (rake) D# D# A# B
seven caged tigers fly by, fly by

the chords played during the bridge underneath the solo are a slight change
from the verse riff, altered to fit the solo. I'm not exactly sure what
the chord progression is, but just fool around with the verse and change it
to fit the main notes of the solo and it should sound all right.
here is the progression of the song
